Download an MLS listing sheet. I have a feeling that this can be done another way other than uploading a pdf to flickr, but this will do for now. I'm open to ideas if you have them.

This is a great house. If you're interested in more information, email me.

Home prices in the Bay Area continued their upward climb last month, although at a slower pace. Sales were strong, but not record-breaking, a real estate information service reported.

"Market trends are remarkably stable. There are still more buyers out there than there are sellers, putting upward pressure on prices. The only change we see for the immediate future is a slowing rate of appreciation," said Marshall Prentice, DataQuick president.
